Linking community archaeology and well-being in the Mediterranean (LOGGIA)

Linking community archaeology and well-being in the Mediterranean (LOGGIA) is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship action. LOGGIA aims to understand to what extent community archaeology practices can contribute to community well-being in the Mediterranean context, by focusing on the inclusion of vulnerable groups through case study research.
Archaeology may positively impact individuals, communities and vulnerable groups. To that end, the EU-funded LOGGIA project adopts a unique approach to investigate how archaeology can promote community well-being in the Mediterranean by focusing on persons with disabilities through two case studies in Italy and Cyprus. The project integrates archaeology, well-being and disability studies to design a novel theoretical and evaluation framework linking community archaeology and well-being, and assesses the impact of archaeology programmes on community well-being. LOGGIA is assessing the extent to which the interaction with a digital environment contributes to the inclusion of persons with disabilities.
